hyperlinks

The magic of internet are hyper-links, the nightmare of internet is our/my own ability to dissipate talks, writings, learnings on a disparate number of place, many proprietary platforms, sometimes hosted blogs on community or news portals and than lost the magic connection established for the readers for ever.

This page is the attempt to recollect, remember, search and share again as many hyper-links bits as I could find/remember/link once more.

about me

hvale vale (small letters as per bell hooks). Writer, feminist and activist, as such I connect women’s rights, sexual rights and the internet poetically, politically and practically and advocate for the #feministinternet.

I migrated in 1994 to the Western Balkan, first working for international humanitarian aid organizations, than in 2003, I led the process that established the first online media for civil society, now One World Platform, a local registered organisation that tackles and researches the intersections between internet rights, women’s rights and the transformative power of technology, where I continue to serve pro bono as president of the board. After coming back to humanitarian aid in the wake of the disastrous floods that hit Bosnia Herzegovina and the neighborhood countries in 2014 and the subsequent refugees’ crisis along the “Balkan Route”, in April 2017 I started a new professional adventure with the Women’s Rights Program of the Association for Progressive Communication focusing on the intersection of Sexual rights and the internet.

I discovered and learned about technology-related issues through my work, so my engagement with internet and digital rights ranges from policy advocacy to capacity building. Most of all love learning from people and facilitate digital storytelling, a visual methodology for social change that combine solidarity, healing and a powerful peer-to-peer co-production.
